The Mistress
of Tall Acre is the newest book by Laura Frantz. Just like her
previous books it was awesome. The
Mistress of Tall Acre is a sound alone novel, set during the 18th century
at the end of the American Revolution.
I enjoyed this stand alone novel; it was nice that the whole story was
in one book.
Seamus Ogilvy is a scared General inside and out. The war was
long and hard. Some of the injuries of
war are easier to get off than others.
He just wants to get Tall Acre back up to the noble home it was till the
war. He also wants to raise his daughter Lily-Cate. But more than anything he
wants to live the past in the past.
Sophie Menzies has been all alone since her brother left to
fight, her mother's death and her father running back to Scotland. She's all but given up. Sophie is strong in her faith and is determining
to follow God's leading. However with nowhere else to go Sophie agrees to marry
Seamus. An arrangement that they both thing was always be in name only. His daughter
needs a mother and Sophie needs a home. I normally don't love marriage of convenience stories, but I loved this one. Because it didn't take away from the story if it anything it added to the story.
I love how that both Seamus and Sophie are older a little older
late twenties and earlier thirties. It
made it easier to relate to the characters.
The fact that Sophie was strong in her faith, because at many through
the novel many times it is the only thing getting her through. Both Seamus and Sophie have a lot to learn not
only about each other, but life, and most importantly faith. The journey to the
ending is full of twist and turns but all so worth it.
The
Mistress of a Tall Acre is a fast paced read that you will not want to
put down. While Sophie has become my new
favorite heroine of Laura's and Seamus is my new favorite hero for reasons I
can't give away without giving away the story; it is all the characters that
shape the story. Without the supporting
characters as well The Mistress of Tall
Acre wouldn't be the story it is. And Laura adding a new twist to her writing. She added a bit of mystery and suspense to her historical romance and I love it.
I was given an E-copy from Netgalley exchange for an honest review.
